2012 Audi A7: The Jalopnik Review

Mercedes started it off with the CLS-class, then Audi joined in with the gorgeous A7, and now BMW also has one in the form of the 6-series GranCoupe. But is there a point to any of these cars, and moreover, are they any good? I just spent some time

My first comment while driving the Audi A7 h-tron was straight to the point. “It feels very normal” I told Dr Friedrich G Wilhelm, one of the senior engineers on the Audi h-tron project, who was in the passenger seat. Though Audi is at the forefront in high-tech automotive power it feels potential buyers could be put off if the car felt different to the norm. The ‘h’ in the Audi’s h-tron name refers to the element hydrogen, the most common element in the universe. Hydrogen is stored in four high-pressure cylinders under the rear of the A7. A device known as a fuel cell is fitted under the front bonnet and separates the protons and electrons in the hydrogen. The electrons provide electricity which is used to drive a motor to power the front wheels of the Audi. Audi A7 can run for as far as 50 kilometres in electric car mode. By far the biggest difference between the h-tron and other electric and hybrid cars is that hydrogen can fill the high pressure cylinders in about three minutes. Source: www.carsguide.com.au

This standard operating procedure was discarded with the Audi A7 Sportback, says Audi boss Rupert Stadler: "Everything was right in the first place. " Indeed, this large hatchback could be the most beautiful of all Audis. The side view recalls the most handsome (if not the most reliable) of 1970s hatchbacks, such as the Rover SD-1 and Citroën CX. the rear end is cut off sharply, like an Italian supercar of that same era. This car is free of the gimmicks you'll find on many others in this class, and we haven't talked to anyone who doesn't admire its looks. Now that we've established that the A7 is beautiful, we’ll note that the car really is little more than a dressed-up, next-generation A6. It uses Audi’s modular longitudinal architecture. a good 20 percent of the A7’s body is made from aluminum, which is more heavily relied on in the more expensive A8, but most of the A7 is made from less costly steel. this is a very comfortable car, with none of the harshness and forced sportiness that characterizes many other Audi models. 7-inch wheelbase, up almost three inches over the previous A6’s, definitely helps in keeping body motions controlled and the cabin serene.
